Guy and I passed thru JFK on Sept 19 and Sept 22 upon return -- attending my niece's wedding, who actually lives in NYC, in Brooklyn, just across the Brooklyn Bridge.

I have to say that, although it was old and not "modern pure"-- it seemed to be run better than SEATAC. For example -- there were several terminals, and several security lines -- at SEATAC EVERYBODY goes thru the same security line, no matter what airline, and at the early morning busy time it has taken me up to 45 minutes to get thru, which is seldom planned for. At JFK -- even at busy times -- it takes at the most 10-15 minutes. (I guess, given my Germanic background, efficiency -- in this case -- is more important than beauty....) And the fancy, "nice" airports, like Houston -- do NOT have free Wifi.

OK -- yeah, it's old -- but I LIKE old. Speaking of old -- have you been on the subways???? My, oh my....

"What is the meaning of life? That was all — a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years. The great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark. . . .

"The trick, Gloria thought as she experienced near-whiplash at the revelation, was to keep the level of believing in magic constant."—Marylinn Kelly
